Ever since i got pregnant my digestion has become so slow, i feel full and bloated for hours after eating even small amount. Its bothering me a lot. Why does this happen yaar?
Beta hormones se digestion dheema ho jaata hai. Thoda saunf chaba lo khane ke baad, aur garam pani piyo subah. Bas agar pet bahut bhaari ya dard ho to doctor se pooch lena.
My gynac explained that progesterone relaxes the muscles including the gut, so food moves slower. Later the growing uterus also presses on the stomach. That's why acidity and constipation are so common.
Ugh tell me about it, I love eating but everything just sat in my tummy for hours. It's the pregnancy hormones. I learnt to eat smaller portions more often, otherwise the bloating was unreal.
It's the hormones slowing things down. What helped me was small frequent meals instead of heavy ones, and lots of water and fibre. Since I had to watch my food anyway, eating slowly made a big difference.
Mainly hormones, that's why food moves slow. A short walk after dinner helped my digestion a lot, but my doctor cleared me for light walking first so do check with yours before.
